Farmer Don’s Super Soil for Raised Bed Gardens

If you want to be 100% sure your food is fresh, local and organic, you have to grow it yourself. That’s what we do here at Farmer Don’s organic micro farm. We use an ultra premium blend of organic peat moss (no wetting agents) and vermiculite but not pearlite (both listed with the Organic Materials Research Institute) and then we add our premium blend of Farmer Don’s Super Compost which includes a proprietary blend of roughly seventeen components of organic or mineral origin to provide a nourishing soil to feed your plants. We refuse to use chemical fertilizers or pesticides. This mix is perfect for vegetables and flowers. It will provide the long-term nourishmentthat nature intended and not a short-term chemical spike. Simply use Farmer Don’s Super Soil on all new or existing gardens for your first application. Afterwards you’ll only have to add Farmer Don’s Super Compost Blend before you grow your next crop. Additional peat moss and vermiculite are not required after the initial application of Farmer Don’s Super Soil.Returnable 5 gallon pail of Super Soil $22+ $3 DepositReturnable 5 gallon pail of Super Compost $25+ $3 Deposit5 Gallon pail is approximately 1 cubic footAll deliveries are made from Wyckoff, New Jersey unless otherwise noted.
